man -t open | lpThe "lp" command itself (part of the CUPS printing architecture in 10.2+) has all kinds of handy options, too -- for multiple copies, delayed printing, and so on. And now you know how to print the lp manpage...

It sounds like Apple should not offer rebates if they have no intention of honoring them. An irate letter from a long-time Mac fan would hopefully wake up someone at Apple; maybe not.
At this point, the Apple Store is still being devious (read: dishonest) about rebates. They advertise rebates on some items, but when you read the fine print, you find out that the rebate only applies if you don't buy from the Apple Store. It looks like they are taking co-op advertising money but screwing the customer.

alias words cat /usr/share/dict/words | egrepTo mimic the behavior of look foo you'd type words -i ^foo, but now you can do many more cool and useless things (like finding all words in which the letters "abcde" appear in sequence: words "a.*b.*c.*d.*e"). You'll be completing impossible rhyming couplets faster than you can say "zygosporange."

I've been playing with the latest beta of the Codetek Virtual Desktop. The improvements over the first version are significant and well worth your time to check out, especially if you come from the X Windows world of 3x3 desktop setups. Having Netscape install it's own color palette not required. All kidding aside though, it makes using the 15" iMac much easier.
While I'm pimping apps, I might as well toss in a nod to TigerLaunch from Ranchero Software which has to be the simplest app launcher available for OS X. It installs a menu bar icon with a drop down full of your installed apps. You can configure the list of apps. Select an app from the list and it launches. That's all it does, but of course, what else would you need it to do? ;-)
